The 2nd host city for the 2014 Formula E championship was announced today with Rome set to host a race around the streets of the city. This got me thinking about potential circuit layouts…

The layout used in Gran Turismo 5 could work quite well (http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5751673). It passes the Colosseum, the Circus Maximus and the Monumento Nazionale a Vittorio Emanuele II, which would provide a fantastic backdrop to the race. However, the circuit may be too narrow to produce exciting races and there appears to be a lack of serious overtaking opportunities

@andae23 I’d demolish the Colosseum to build a state-of-the-art pit complex & hospitality suite. The main grandstand could be built on its ancient foundations, just to keep some of that history & heritage.
